Thumbnail: Tonight is effectively a Game 7 for Boston. Maybe even more of a Game 7 than the actual Game 7 they just went through. The prospect of enduring three elimination games, two in Miami, is not ideal. So it’s tonight.

Look for, as Ryan addressed, KG to affirm his post presence. Look for Pierce to, for better or worse, put up 25 shots gunning for a huge bounce-back game. Look for Rondo to continue his transition from human to pure energy. Look for some minutes from Marquis Daniels, probably at the cost of Mickael Pietrus. Hope for some minutes from Terrel Harris.

And if Boston ends up with a lead in the fourth, look for them to keep attacking in transition and not hoard shot clock. This is easily the most maddening thing about this team: when they’re ahead by a small margin late, they stunt their own offense by initiating with four seconds left in the possession, in hopes they can just run the game out without having to actually play anymore. They did it two nights ago and let Miami back in. The Heat are intensely capable of ending a game on a 14-0 run, so Boston needs to play like they expect that to happen.

Once they get a foot on the Heat's throat, they need to step harder like you said Hayes.

Lets go Celtics!
We are technically in the same position as last year at this point but guess what- Our best player doesn't have one arm!
Give Rondo the ball, set him picks, and let him get to work
GO BACK TO MIAMI 2-2

Bill Kennedy (a known cheat/liar/thief), and Joey Crawford — Is there ANY chance we'll have a fair game now?
